[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 69890, member: 23"] Under IDEA, the school district can't offer services to a student unless the student qualifies for an IEP. One of the requirements to qualify is that academic or behavioral problems impede their learning or the learning of others. If the psychiatrist feels the evaluation(s) need to be done, you can ask for the evaluation (in writing via Certified Mail). I sure wouldn't dismiss the recommendation. But as you know, the CM kicks in timelines. In the event Tink doesn't qualify, you'll have the evaluations as a baseline. However, I'd want private evaluations done also, so if you need a referral for insurance purposes, I'd ask the psychiatrist for a private referral. Fine and gross motor skills and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) are two things that can be permanently improved with appropriate Occupational Therapist (OT) therapy. I wouldn't wait -- the earlier the treatment, the better. [/QUOTE]
